YSI Incorporated Displays and Loggers 23
The wiper motor puts a significant load on the YSI 610's batteries. If you are using
wiped turbidity or chlorophyll, we recommend that you have NiMH batteries for your
YSI 610 and that you take particular care to keep them charged according to the
instructions in Section 1.1, Getting Started.
When the batteries are nearly discharged, it is possible that they may not be able to power
the motor. In this case, the message will show twice the normal time for cleaning.
